Exceptional Lawyer: Knowledgeable, Precise, and Straightforward. Couldn't have asked for anyone better

Just WOW!!! Amazing. I had the privilege of working with Alberto Ebanks, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Unlike other lawyers, he did not try to sell me himself from our first call. From the moment he examined my case, it was clear he is incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and straightforwar...d. His military background shines through in his disciplined approach—he took the time to analyze every detail and explain the process clearly, without ever needing to sell himself. What truly impressed me was his determination to go above and beyond. He didn’t just settle for the bare minimum; he fought for the best possible outcome, one I didn’t even think was an option for my case. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only understanding but also committed to achieving exceptional results, Alberto Ebanks is the person to trust. I will be recommending him to all my contacts in search of legal representation. Thank you, Alberto

Great Attorney

Alberto A. Ebanks has proven to be a good lawyer. His firm has been working and helpful in reviewing the case. The lawyer had kept me abreast concerning the details of the case from start to finish. Thanks to him and his assistant.

Great lawyer!

I am so happy I retained attorney Ebanks! I had a felony charge from a miss understanding. I had a different lawyer that told me to plea guilty or risk going to jail for a minimum of 4 years. I consulted with attorney Ebanks, speaking with him was very reassuring. I walked in the court room with att...orney Ebanks. Ebanks did what he does best and my charges were dismissed.

Amazing lawyer

I highly recommend Mr Evans he took my son's case and made us feel like we were family my son's case was very complicated and this man went out of state to visit my son he went out of his way to the way he had to do merry professional very kind we thrilled with everything he did for us it was very pa...tient with my son and with me as a mother of having a child in jail sometimes I was very complicated I have to say that I gave him a hard time but why can't I do I'm a mother working witness the event representing us was an experience that we never had before we have finally found the lawyer who actually had empathy for us and for our case we are forever grateful for his service he treated my own son like one of his boys thank you for everything you did for us to even me and my son would always have you in our hearts

Awesomely

Alberto Ebanks is an amazing attorney who if not the best certainly in the top 5 best attorneys in NYS. Mr. Ebanks exceeded my expectations going above and beyond to handle my case. Modern day Johnnie Cochran. After terminating my previous attorney, I reached out to Mr. Ebanks through a referr...al from a friend. Within just 2 days of me retaining his services he was able to reach a resolution with the prosecutor. It hasn’t even been a full 2 weeks and he managed to have my case dismissed of all charges. Anytime I had a question or concern I could call him or text him and got an immediate response. He called me frequently and kept me updated and informed on my case. My previous attorney was very lazy, overly white privileged and full of expletive. Making comments suggesting that the all accused claim to be innocent, when I was in fact innocent. I have no idea how Mr. Ebanks was able to make progress but she couldn’t. All she kept saying was my case is adjourned because of COVID. Well Mr. Ebanks managed to get the job done and did far more work in 2 days than she did in the 4 months she had my case. I highly recommend Mr. Ebanks for all criminal matters. Unlike other attorneys, I swear that my review is written genuinely with all do integrity. You are welcome to contact me about my experience as well. When considering an attorney use referral from friends and family.
